Y&R: July 2024 Discussion Thread

Unless he filmed additional scenes that have yet to air, for all purposes, it’s over.  Tucker hasn’t appeared in over a month since losing to Audra, and then I think it was Audra who briefly mentioned that Tucker had vanished.

The show never mentioned a final airdate officially so that makes me wonder if he’ll pop up again one more time maybe next month or something.

Haha even though the story of Summer stopping Harrison from leaving the country with Kyle was a bit much and unrealistic, I like Summer just casually calling out Kyle with names like “spoiled brat” “overgrown baby” and “man child” Haha the dialogue for AL’s Summer has at least been on point and to her strengths.

Did anyone else get inappropriate chemistry vibes from this scene???? I mean i know that's Amelia's Specialty but still is weird!

People said they're bringing back HJ as Summer but I can't imagine her playing the character like that and I Really Like the Way The Character Is! Also This Storyline definitely needed Tara to work! She's the real mom she has rights and she was supposed to have been out of jail by now!

I wish they could get Bree Williamson as Tara and have her for at least 6 months! She can do a great troublemaker!

Him and MTS have that ability to make you watch even the silliness of plot for sure. They are literally doing the same plot with him and Nick, Vi, & Adam from last year and yet Victor keeps it interesting. 

 

LOL. No worries. July is my busy social month so I totally understand. It is just sad to me that I called it. The Ashley storyline really and truly was their flagship storyline for so long that (outside of the Chancellor plot), once it stopped, the show got boring. Which was what I was afraid of. 

And yes! Same old plot, but EB and MTS are giving. 

 

Well, Billy, Lily, Devon, Nate, and Chance. Hmm I want to say Abby knows as well. Part of the current Devon/Lily rift is the fact that Billy took Lily in confidence about Jill and Devon has figured it out and feels a way.

 

I honestly feel he has not last aired yet. Regardless of JG's writing...or unless TSJ and Steve Kent have issues with each other...Tucker does not seem like the type of character who would let someone take his company and not get his lick back. BUT I could be wrong.

Other than me FF-ing through Chelesa having yet ANOTHER meltdown, that was decent.

 

So have we taken the time to acknowledge that we have a YOUNG storyline going on for the first time in ages? I've been wondering if they were going to do something with Faith since she was back in town and broken up from Moses. And then Lucy is just wandering around. So I wonder if Lucy is going to start to obsess over Faith. Kinda like NEW BEST FRIEND. She does have that gene in her. Though that is not the way that I wanted a story to go with her, but I'm intrigued at least.

 

And those Jack/Nikki scenes were great. Jack might be Nikki's closest friend, but no matter what she loathes Diane. So that is going to be a hard friendship. So it was good to see Jack put that on the table. I did laugh that Nikki followed him all the way from the Athletic Club back to Jabot.

That was boring as Hades. Well...except for the last 5 minutes. What did you just say, Victor??? You want Nikki to head what? Jill's head will completely explode. But if that makes Jill come back in the flesh AND on the warpath, I am here for it.

 

Outside of that, I admit that I liked Billy and Lily's little scene at the beginning. So Lily's a Swiftie? Outside of that, it just seems like they are heading back to Billy/Lily which they shouldn't have broken up in the first place. Or worse...given JG's love of Chelesa...a triangle.

 

Oh, now I know Sharon has lost her mind if all she's doing is daydreaming about pouncing on Nick at home. I understand, Girl, but

  Seriously...why is she THIS off? 

[Antoyne]

Oh lord. I wanted Sharon to have story again, I should’ve known they’d just make her crazy again.

[Taoboi]

Same, my friend. I really did. And I felt SC could rise to the occasion like ED did with the silly beginning to her own crazy tale. 

 

But...I felt like the building blocks for Ash were at least well-done from a writing perspective even if I found it silly. This...just makes no sense to me. It's like I missed scenes or wasn't paying attention. Because I would think if this is because Sharon's meds are off that she would have already gone and gotten them changed by now. And now everyone is picking up on it, but still...nothing. And now we got our first REAL bizarre moment with the Nick daydream...and even that doesn't make sense.

 

Basically it doesn't make sense. And it looks like SC feels the same, making it worse. 

[Ponds]

I agree with all of the posters, this show is absolutely boring.  I read the day ahead spoiler and rarely even watch the show.  It also seems like when I do watch it, Billy is always being such an a-hole!  

[ranger1rg]

I don't understand all the time spent on Billy involving Sally and wondering what's going on with Adam and Chelsea.

Does ANYONE find this interesting??? Does ANYONE care that Chelsea and Adam cheated on their partners???

This story capsulizes what's wring with this entire show: there's nothing to care about.

 

[Taoboi]

That's because outside of the occasional scene with Lily, he IS.

 

I hate this Adam/Chelesa 'twist,' but I look forward to his head exploding when he finds out. 

 

It's what he deserves. 

[Antoyne]

Has Ashley appeared at all? Anything interesting with the Abbott’s in general? The last full episode I watched Diane fired Kyle and I was into that but not enough to watch a months worth of episodes.

[kalbir]

Ashley last scene I remember was a video chat w/ Abby.

[soapfan770]

Hahahaha.

Only downside is Billy is already to setup to fall back on Lily, so the blowup will probably last like 30 seconds and then it will all be over.

This pointless iteration of Billy and Chelsea always just struck me as just friends, nothing long term and not much chemistry for starters. I forgot they we’re supposed to be in a “relationship” tbh.

Nope lol! It never made sense for Adam and Chelsea to sleep with each other in the first place, and this OCD story has been TERRIBLE from the get go.

Add to your earlier comment, Chelsea is absolutely unhinged over this too. Forget Connor and Sharon, it’s Chelsea who needs to be committed!

And THIS is supposed to be the same character once know as Chelsea the Great Con?

With Chelsea being so obvious, why didn’t Billy ask her point blank in private instead of excruciatingly long drawn out conversations in Crimson Lights?

At least 7/30’s Kyle/Jack blowup was semi-decent to watch. I liked Diane’s angle but I also relished Audra reeling Kyle in on his leash in the afterward scenes reminding him SHE’s in charge.
